It originates in the heart of \u003cstrong\u003eFranciacorta\u003c\/strong\u003e, in Lombardy, one of Italy's most renowned areas for producing high-quality sparkling wines. Ferghettina interprets this territory with an elegant and complex cuvée, with no added sugar (Pas Dosé), to purely express the freshness and minerality of its terroir.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2017 vintage in Franciacorta was characterized by a particular climate: a rather harsh winter, followed by a mild spring and a hot, dry summer. Yields in the vineyard were lower, but grape quality reached excellent levels. These conditions favored the balanced ripening of the Chardonnay grapes, the main variety of this Riserva, ensuring excellent aromatic concentration and balanced acidity, fundamental elements for a long-lived sparkling wine.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nFor the production of \u003cstrong\u003eFranciacorta DOCG “Riserva 33” Pas Dosé 2017 - Ferghettina\u003c\/strong\u003e, only the best Chardonnay grapes from high-hill parcels are selected. After soft pressing, the musts ferment in stainless steel tanks and in a portion of small oak barrels, to increase their aromatic complexity. The blending of the different base wines takes place after careful tasting by the oenologist.\nThis is followed by re-fermentation in the bottle and an extraordinary \u003cstrong\u003eaging on the lees for 80 months\u003c\/strong\u003e, a very long period that enriches the wine with refined and enveloping notes. The result is a sparkling wine with no added sugar (Pas Dosé), therefore dry, crystalline, and elegant.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eFranciacorta DOCG “Riserva 33” Pas Dosé 2017 - Ferghettina\u003c\/strong\u003e presents itself in the glass as a model of harmony and finesse.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nBrilliant intense straw yellow, with golden reflections and a fine, persistent perlage, a sign of long aging on the lees.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the nose, it is complex and broad: notes of bread crust, candied citrus, dried fruit, and light hints of vanilla and acacia honey emerge.
